Additional features
Weight distribution curves can be plotted in longitudinal, transverse and
vertical directions. To change the direction of the weight distribution curve,
simply press one of the tab-sheets ‘X-Z-dir’, ‘Y-Z-dir’ or ‘Z-Y-dir’.
It is important that all items are given values for the start point and end point
of the item: LCG_min, LCG_max, TCG_min, TCG_Max, VCG_min and
VCG_max. If an item lacks one of these values, the default value for
extension will be applied. The default extension value is set in the Options
dialog, on the General tab-sheet.
Two values can be given for Extent: default and min.
The default value is applied if any of the values LCG_min, LCG_max,
TCG_min, TCG_Max, VCG_min and VCG_max are missing.
Example: The ‘default’ extension value is set to 10 m:

the minimum value.
